Dave Fromer's Marin Soccer Camp

"We love Dave, and our daughter can't imagine summer without Dave's camps.... Your camps are so well-run, organized and well thought-out. With a soccer-crazy child like C., we've attended many soccer camps throughout the Bay Area, from Berkeley to Stanford to Mustang to Belmont. Without question, Dave is the best at understanding children and using music, games and a spirit of fun to teach top-notch soccer skills. We see improvement in C.'s game each week she spends at your camp. More than anything else we're so grateful for the affection the coaches have shown our daughter - they remember her each time they see her, and have always been so helpful in advising how she can stay challenged and keep improving in the organized youth soccer system.

Again, we can't thank Dave and his great organization enough. C. looks forward to coming to camp soon!"

"We have been an enthusiastic 'Dave Fromer soccer' family for several years.

Our sons, Noah and Sean have played indoor soccer for five years and attended Summer Soccer Camp for three years. We give all of the Dave Fromer programs our highest recommendation!

We appreciate the coaches who teach in a friendly, positive and supportive way (who encourage each child's personal best). We like the organization and effective communication of the program's leaders. We love the balance between skill learning, practice and game playing. Most of all, our boys say 'IT IS REALLY FUN!' and the parents think it is FUN too!

We are sad when the indoor soccer season is over. We wish
it could go on all year! And their absolute favorite summer camp is the Dave Fromer Soccer Camp!

Thank you for bringing such an important gift to Marin County for 27 years!"

"Hi Dave and All,
I just wanted to let you know that my daughter attended the Senior Camp this summer with coach Mark Mackbee and his wonderful assistant Diego. She had an awesome time! She felt that she gained a lot of new skills and was challenged to become a better player. She has played soccer since Kindergarten, both recreational and competitive and this is the first time that she has come home _really excited_ about a camp. She can't wait to attend it again next summer. I really hope you will have it again. Also, could you please pass on our appreciation to Mark and Diego."

"Hi Dave.  Our 9 year-old daughter had a great experience, and we had a great time watching.  Playing indoors this winter definitely tuned her up for Select league tryouts, and her little brother got so fired up being around all that soccer that he’s off to a great start in his spring program as well.  Thanks for the super coaching and the great league you’ve put together.  See you next year!"

 
"I have to tell you how wonderful this [indoor soccer] season was.  Dave Fromer Soccer makes soccer so much fun for the kids.  Every game was so exciting....  thank you to everyone involved with Dave Fromer Soccer.  Especially a HUGE thank you to the refs that officiated the games.  Every one of them deserves more than thanks."

"Hey, Fromer Family,

Thank you so much for the dedication and joy you've brought to our family and the kids of Mill Valley through the MVSC and WISL. I've enjoyed learning from Dave and coaching rec and WISL teams for the past eight years.

Wishing you guys continued success and happiness.

"My daughter...attended your soccer camp...and had a wonderful experience. Not only did she gain incredible confidence, learn some fancy tricks, meet some new friends, but she also gained something that was invaluable--a newfound LOVE for soccer."

"Lewis Usher trained (my daughter) Marissa during her first three years. She has the great footwork/skills that you taught her. You taught her the scissors move, passing, and the intricate footwork.... You were a great first coach because she learned the correct skills from the beginning and from you! ....All of your patience with those little children can make such a difference. Thanks for caring and coaching... And (to) Dave Fromer. I have lived in Mill Valley for many years so we appreciate that you brought soccer to Mill Valley."

"My son's first experience with organized team sports was with Fromer's Indoor Soccer league. It opened up a whole new world of team play, cooperation, excitement and camaraderie! He loved it. He has now played for three years and we look forward to many more. I appreciate that the focus was primarily on team cooperation and on the joy of soccer rather than on winning. The Fromer family brings a wonderful blend of knowledge, expertise and kindness to the field."

"I can't tell you how much this [indoor soccer] season meant to my son who is 7.  He is extremely shy and tried soccer once in a competitive environment and never wanted to go back.  My friend suggested your program....  He LOVED this season so much and actually came out of his shell.  The whole ambiance of the games, your staff and your program was so upbeat, well organized and such good fun.  Kids got a real chance to learn and play; it was about working together instead of who could win.  We are so incredibly grateful for such a fantastic...experience.  Our only regret is that your program isn't year-round.  We are die-hard fans of you now and are ready to follow you anywhere."

I want to thank all the coaches for a great week(Lucas Valley School). My son, Jack Chung, had a lot of fun and learned so much. His first day was rough but the coaches were great making him feel welcome.. We look forward to participating in the winter soccer league.
